Echium Pininata , sorry another photo ...

I can see why ... it's stunning.

I absolutely love the look of these and have tried to grow them from seed ever since I saw them in an open garden in Norfolk 4 years ago. Fingers crossed the two plants from seed sown last year will keep going.

I’ve commented earlier, but, it’s lovely to see it closer up.

Thanks girls , Good luck with your plants from seeds Hb , hopefully we'll see photos next year ..

A great Echium. I have tried to grow them but the winter always killed them off.

I thought these were dead Ff so was very surprised and pleased they survived ...
